Inhale, exhale… and let yourself be swept away into the wondrous world of nonsense influencers and Insta-gurus. Your guide is science journalist and bullshit-fighter Adriaan ter Braack (author of Eigen Onderzoek Eerst and known as @sjamadriaan on Instagram with nearly 200,000 followers).

As a ‘guru’ of common sense, Adriaan takes a close look at both pseudoscience and the startling business models hidden behind health claims on social media. He also discusses the appeal of these unhealthy and unwise practices to our friends, our children, and ourselves. How do you protect yourself against this kind of nonsense? How do you recognize it, how do you debunk it, and how do you convince others?

Common sense is central to this performance as the best remedy – as opposed to taking 40 vitamin pills a day, ‘natural’ sunbathing for hours, or using the phase of the moon as contraception. Using examples like these, ‘Guru’ Adriaan provides the audience with more tools to join the fight together. It’s not a miracle cure for nonsense claims, but above all a practical and hilarious session to train your common sense.
